Summary
- Creative fans in Space Marine 2 can design unique armor, like the Space King parody, pleasing Warhammer 40k enthusiasts.
- Space Marine 2's armor customization system allows for inventive designs, with some drawing clever references to existing content.
- The Space King-inspired armor in Space Marine 2 by a player on Reddit showcases the game's appeal to the Warhammer 40k fanbase.
A Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 player recreated the Space King armor in the game, referencing the hilarious Warhammer 40K parody from YouTube. It’s quite an artistic way of approaching Space Marine 2's armor customization system, and one that fans of the Warhammer 40k universe will probably enjoy. Besides, both the YouTube original and Space Marine 2 feature Tyranids, making the custom armor an especially fitting reference.
Space Marine 2 launched with a robust armor customization system, allowing players to explore unprecedented creative freedom in designing the looks of their characters. While many fans use the system as intended, staying true to the Warhammer 40k lore and simply changing the default Ultramarine to look like a soldier from a different legion, some take a more inventive approach. This often results in clever references and hilarious Space Marine 2 armor designs. Funnily enough, the latest contender in competing for the most ingenious custom armor design might very well become the victor, at least temporarily.

As shared by Megamalistic3 on Reddit, they’ve scrupulously designed a Space King-inspired armor in Space Marine 2, and it looks virtually flawless. What makes this particular armor set worth attention is the source material: Space King is a hilarious (and deliberately obvious) animated parody of the Warhammer 40k universe created by Flashgitz from YouTube. In the original video, a group of genetically enhanced super soldiers go on a mission to find the Space King, which is a reference to the God-Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k; it’s the armor of those soldiers’ silly captain that’s been meticulously recreated by Megamalistic3. Judging by the comments in the Reddit thread, players sincerely loved this approach.
Space Marine 2 Player Recreates Space King Armor
Space Marine 2 is the latest Warhammer 40k video game to feature a proper armor customization system, so it feels perfectly natural to use the game as the foundation for entertaining cultural references such as the Space King one. Besides, Space Marine 2 has proven to be hugely successful for Saber Interactive, as revealed by the company’s chief creative officer. It’s been a long time since Warhammer 40k fans were treated to such a high-quality video game based on their favorite sci-fi universe, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Space Marine 2 has become the most played Warhammer game on Steam immediately after launch.
The authentic copy of the Space King armor in Space Marine 2 feels like a proper way to pay homage to the hilarious animated short, which Warhammer 40k fans thoroughly enjoyed judging by millions of views and an overwhelmingly positive likes-to-dislikes ratio. Considering how big of a hit Space Marine 2 has been on Steam, many more ingenious armor designs are probably on their way to showcase the creativity of the fandom. However, it remains to be seen if any custom designs will ever outshine the Space King one considering its connection to Warhammer 40k.
